Live Phish 2-28-03 was recorded February 28, 2003 at the Nassau County Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

This show marks the return of one of the most beloved and requested Phish songs ever - Mike Gordon's "Destiny Unbound" - which had not been played since December 1991. The song's lengthy absence from the rotation fueled its legendary status (much like Grateful Dead's "Unbroken Chain") to the point where fans would go to extreme lengths to encourage the band to perform the song, such as having the entire front row recite the first verse via flyers passed out to concertgoers by eager fans. The performance was considered the ultimate retirement breakout in the band's history.

Aside from the "Destiny Unbound" breakout, exceptional jams in "Bathtub Gin", "Tweezer" and "Soul Shakedown Party" helped make this performance the most celebrated concert of the Phish's post-hiatus period (2002-2004).
